What once was whole - “heartless” During the grief process there is a point when you wish you could rip your heart out to stop the pain. But then what would you do with it? Would you hold it with care, or drag it behind you? Maybe carry it like a handbag. Protect it or throw it away? This series is still on display @mercure.ballarat until the 22nd of October. #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak (at Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjTr8QtPJ_K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What once was whole - “Scarred” Time is supposed to heal wounds, but does it? It may hurt a little less but I don’t think that pain goes away completely. Do you wear our scars with pride knowing you survived the grief process or do you try to hide the scars so no one can see? Are you stronger or do you see them as a weakness. My perspective is that scar tissue is thicker and stronger. The body healed it’s self after trauma, I believe the heart can do that too. There is strength in healing. This series is on display @mercure.ballarat until the 22nd of October. #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak (at Mercure Ballarat Hotel and Convention Centre) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjWME_zBtnm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Eirisse - I found this yarn and couldn’t wait to use it. I love the colours and was super inspired to create something colourful. I was definitely in my element creating her. I do love repainting Clawdeen. She has such a beautiful face. . . . #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak #rainbowhair #colourfulhair (at Ballarat, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CX1wP1tBG4n/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Three Fates - this is one of the first series I created. . Twyla (purple) is Clotho who spins the thread of life. . Gigi (pink) is Lachesis she who draws the thread and determines how long one lives, by measuring the thread of life. . Venus (green) is Atropos, the inevitable, she who chooses how someone dies by cutting the thread of life with her shears. . . . . #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak #threefates #threefatesdesign (at Ballarat, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYuf15UBaLz/?utm_medium=tumblr

“Skadi” by Ocean Duri of @colour2thebone in the 2022 @thedollartistscollective Group show “Mythical Shadows”. . . Available for purchase. Please DM @thedollartistscollective for information. . . Skadi the goddess of winter, darkness and the wilderness. A fearsome Jotunn huntress of the wilds who was forged in cruel winters heart. Frost and ice run through this warrior’s veins, the bleak beauty of the tundra is reflected in her eyes. When her father was slain by the gods, Skadi rampaged against Odin and his kin. So feared and respected was she, that the gods offered her divinity as compensation to avoid her righteous wrath. . . . Check out other amazing dolls by @skeriosities @podlydolls and @misscerisedolls over at @thedollartistscollective . . . . #colour2thebone #thedollartistscollective #dollartistscollective #dollartists #artcollective #doll #ooakdoll #repaint #dollrepaint #monsterhighcustom #customdoll #collectordoll #artdoll #dollsofinstagram #everafterhigh #dollsofinstagram #dollartists #everafterhightrepaint #monsterhighrepaint #Skadi #Norsemythology #Norsegoddesses (at Ballarat, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CbVttPbBOzM/?utm_medium=tumblr

Avalon - Obviously when scarrier reef came out I was even more excited to get my hands on this gem. This was the one and only time I have ever been able to get my hands on this Clawdeen and I’ll be honest, if I had have known that was the case, I she would not have sold her. I absolutely love the colour and I remember being so patient with her faceup trying to get the colours right. It was the first time I rerooted with multiple colours, which took me a lot longer to do. I tried my best to match her hair colour to her tail. . . . #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak #mermaid #siren (at Ballarat, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYcSAQnB8E5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hel - I was really inspired to create this doll. There was something about her that was just calling me. I don’t find her evil because she rules the underworld, I find her powerful. I love finding the power and strength in something that most would find unconventional. In that I see another side of beauty. . . . Please visit @thedollartistscollective for more information regarding Hel.

Ginger - a young version of the witch from Hansel and Gretel. I created this little witch for a doll swap. I wanted to create her with a little pinup style. I even gave her some tattoos. She was super cute, something I will admit, if I’m not completely inspired by the theme of a doll, I struggle with creating them. I feel like there is literally a wall blocking my creativity and the flow of ideas just stops. I did have that with this doll. Sometimes I truly love commissions and sometimes I really struggle with them. Even with the challenges I do like how this one turned out. . . . . #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak #hanselandgretel (at Ballarat, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV3Z1o6hioI/?utm_medium=tumblr

Iclyn - I have always had a fascination with the winter, snow and anything cold (just not vampires!) to me, the winter is just whimsical. There is this purity, peace and delicacy to it that just inspires me. This was the first time I used white eyelashes and I loved them. I haven’t done them since, but I would love to create another ice queen inspired doll with them. I have only experienced the snow a few times in my life. When we moved out here the locals warned us that the first winter will be difficult. Sure, it was colder than we were use to but I loved it. It’s been known to snow here occasionally, unfortunately we weren’t graced with the snow first time round. Hopefully next year! . . . #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak #icequeen #winter (at Ballarat, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW6rBFeh-2S/?utm_medium=tumblr

Periwinkle - can’t have Tink without her sister! I think I learned with this one that I didn’t need to reroot with so much yarn. This was before I realized I could untwist the yarn and reroot thinner pieces. I learned a lot by trial and error. It’s so much easier untwisting the pieces, rerooting and then brushing. Brushing the yarn while it’s still twisted after a reroot takes a lot of effort. Since her hair was short I didn’t mind the amount of volume, but less would have worked just as well. . . . #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak #periwinkle #pixiehollow (at Ballarat, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaiTm_nhmoO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Vidia - I love her sassiness and was really inspired to create her for this series. I used a Nefera vase for her and I feel like it worked to my advantage. The drama is in the shape of her face and I think it works well. . . . #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak #vidia #pixiehollow (at Ballarat, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/Caf2MzuPwR2/?utm_medium=tumblr

Coraline, while looking through all my doll photos I have noticed that I do like creating Tim Burton characters. They are a lot of fun. . . . #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak #coraline (at Ballarat, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVqmxwshvsv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Dawn - I continued to create a few more show girls after Stella because she was too much fun. I feel like Dawn had a little older style twist to her. Again I was adamant on doing the tiny curls (longer process than rerooting). They turned out awesome. Her makeup just made my day! I absolutely love how it turned out and I don’t think I could be happier with it. She came together nicely. Attitude and all. . . . #artdoll #colourtothebone #colour2thebone #customdoll #customrepaint #customooak #custommonsterhigh #ballaratcreative #doll #dollooak #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #reroot #monsterhighreroot #ballaratmaker #ballaratartist #monsterhigh #monsterhighrepaint #monsterhighcustom #monsterhighooak #ooakdoll #ooakmonsterhigh #ooakcustom #ooakrepaint #repaint #artscultureballarat #ooak #showgirl (at Ballarat, Victoria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWRbS35hJCc/?utm_medium=tumblr
